ACCESS - complaints - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Virus TI
happens to burn amplifiers and speakers and the support tries to disencourage device replacement
is compatible with just a few hosts - only the latest versions are supported
hangs up
arps lose rhythm
occasionally generates very loud screech - so better use limiters

Access
misinform about host compatibility
encourage host updating which does not change anything
keep selling unfinished product

Total i agree with you...
however i feel in this age you have to be totally skeptical of advertising claims.They use fancy wording that has to be reviewed by lawyers.
It is your duty as a consumer to make sure the product is legitimate.
It's a sad state...but a true one.

So maybe you have learned a valuable lesson.
I'm also pondering what to do with my desktop TI.

Viva La OS1.1

access have sold loads of ti units, they HAVE to fix the box in order not to furgher damage their image

very true.....
but what if they cant?
i hope they will but you never know.

like the hubble maybe it is destined to always be flawed.
in this type of scenario i imagine some 3rd party developer
writing a new synth engine to run on the ti hardware 8O
maybe something like scope or kyma

time will tell...but i bet it is difficult right now to get rid of a TI second hand.

absolutely, I was looking for used TIs on ebay, unfortunately I overslept the auction because it was sold for 1200 Euros instead of 1700, and was almost never used... if you compare this to virus c being sold for about 900-1000 Euros...

fu*k

We're lucky to have Waldorf back when Access is going under.

Of course I wish the best of luck for all German synth companies because they build the best synths in the world. Shame that the TI thing just doesn't work. I have already seen 2 second hand TI's for sale here in Finland.
